Refrigerator leaning outward

While getting the rig ready to head to Phoenix, I noticed the refer leaning outward. The top mounting screws backed out and the clips look like they are bent after securing the screws, and still the refer leaned away from opening.
For now, I drilled two holes in the top trim and 2 holes on the left side trim by freezer opening. Then I ran a screw in each hole fastening into the backing boards of frame opening.
Later I will run a piece of wood or metal trim across the top securing it to the wood framing behind.
Hope this works and someone can use the same solution.

Finally resolved my refer leaning outward.
The two top factory retaining clips had worked lose and wasn’t able to retighten them to hold back the refer.
I drilled two holes on the left side trim and top trim as shown. Then screwed through the trim to the wood framing behind.
I also installed two clips on the right side using a couple of galvanized pipe straps. I cut the straps back and flattened as needed as shown to flat secure the refer to the wall.
The refer us now secured to the opening. I will paint the cut straps and 4 screw heads black later to match.
